[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank goodness. Trump voter here. Spouse was law school classmates with this buffoon. He should have nothing to do with the rule of law in this country.  [/quote]

Spare us your faux outrage.  You voted for a convicted felon who was also convicted of sexual abuse.  You are as despicable as trump and Gaetz![/quote]

Trump is neither a convicted felon nor convicted of sexual abuse.  [/quote]

He is awaiting sentencing in New York.  Guess you forgot.  [/quote]

He was found liable of rape. He was not convicted of it.

He's an awful, stupid human being but that's not a crime.

-Harris voter[/quote]

In New York, he was found guilty of falsifying business records, aka fraud.  His sentencing hearing was delayed and now prosecutors are open to delaying sentencing until after his presidential term is ended.

Found guilty is not a conviction. There has been no conviction entered.  [/quote]

False. He has not been sentenced yet but "conviction" just means "finding of guilt." He was found guilty, he has been convicted. The only way to undo that is for the conviction to be overturned on appeal. Sentencing is a separate proceeding and does not impact conviction.

He could also be pardoned and that would remove the "convicted felon" label but in the present day he is a convicted felon.[/quote]

That is not true. [/quote]

It is true. You are twisting legal technicalities to get to the conclusion you desire (that Trump is not a convicted felon) because of some technical rules about when a person convicted of a crime may begin the appeals process. But this is a bad faith argument, arguing backwards from a preferred conclusion.

Trump has been convicted of felonies. He is a convicted felon. If you want to caveat that with "but he has not yet been sentenced and his conviction is not fully entered as a judgment until sentencing occurs," fine -- more info is good. But you cannot argue whether or not he is a convicted felon. He was convicted of a felony. Words have meanings and that's what those words mean.

Also, I beg of you, stop getting legal knowledge from Reddit or like solo legal practioners using MAGA click bait to boost their score in Google algorithms.[/quote]
